Extraordinary Drop ta Wheat Is Followed by Sharp Rise. Chicago, May 4. After a whirlwind des cent of 31o a bushel and rebound of ltic the wheat market today continued to show great nervousness,, owing almost entirely government moves at Washington and Ottwawa to establish a joint uoutnental control of prices. There was an unsailled finish at lo to 7Ho net decline with May at 1278 and July, 13.19 to 12.20. Corn closed, c to lc off; oats down lo to lo, and provisions showing set backs of 16o to 80c, I Demorslisatlon of the wildest sort was witnessed In the wheat pit, when the mar ket opened. Bo general was the rush to sell that would-be purchasers were at first overwhelmed. Within ten minutes, how ever, hardy buyers had met the stampede with such spirit that nearly three-fourths ot the Initial losses were wiped out. Violent fluctuations followed, but most of the struggle was at aa end In half an hour, with prices then at about the level at which the market finished, Scarcely any think except the news from Washington and Ottawa appeared to attract the least attenlon. Even he announcement that the Winnipeg grain exchange had euependad all radlng in the principal options, sisy ana July, received hardly any notice. Renewal of acute weakness and a fresh display of activity suddenly developed after mid-day, and the chief speculative option. July, broke almost as sharply as at the outset, wnen a turn Die 01 tin 10 took plac.r The cause ot the new flurry was neace talk started bya rumor that Presi dent Wilson's friend, Colonel 8. M. House, had been Invited to Berlin, utcit or any confirmation of the rumor, however, led to a quick rally. Jumpa of So between trades occurred In the May delivery at the time that extreme wae at a climax, and May prices had been smashed over night 31c. Corn and oats maintained relative stability as compared with wheat. Offerings ot the feed grains were only moderate. Extreme declines tn sympathy with wheat weakness amounted to 3c. Unfavorable weather for planting and growth tended to keep values steady. Prosueuta of government" regulation brought about mm'h unloading by holders of provisions. Unusual declines, though, were confined to pork, which at one time was down 77c. Cash Prices Wheat: No. t red, 13.00; Ne. 3 red, nominal; No. 3 hard, 12.88; No. 3 hard, nominal.

FEDERAL CONTROL TO LOWER WHEAT Publicity Bureau of Omaha Ex change Sees Cut in Cout of All Cereals, Too. WILL END . GAMBLING "If the United States government co-opctates with Canada and fixes a maximum selling price for wheat the tendency would be toward lower prices on all kinds of grain." Through its publicity bureau, the foregoing is given out as the general opinion of members of the Omaha Grain exchange on the proposition now under consideration looking to joint action by the authorities in Washington and those of Canada in the matter of contemplated regula tion of the prices of all foodstuffs. E. S. Westbrook, one of the leading dealers in cash grain and a member of the Omaha exchange, takes this view of the move to co-operate with Canada and fix maximum prices on grain, principally on wheat. He says: End Speculation. "The fixing of a maximum selling price in itself would naturally fix a maximum price at which the grain would be purchased from the pro ducer. It would end all speculation and generally would do away with trading in futures other than July and September, now marked up. "My judgment would be that fix ing a maximum selling price would have a tendency toward lower prices, but on this proposition no person can more than make a guess. No one can tell what may happen and conse quently no one can tell where prices will be next month, next week, or even tomorrow. "As I understand the situation, most of the wheat of this country that han been bought for July and September delivery has been taken over by the allies. When the date for delivery arrives no living man can say whether or not these purchasers will war.t the grain. Perhaps they will want to leave it on this side and per haps they will want to exchange it for munitions, clothing, meats or some thing else." Prices Go Up. The Chicago prices for wheat for July delivery ranged from $2.15 to $2.53 Friday, but, according to mem bers of the exchange, when the rep resentatives of the allies took over the futures they contracted at figures con siderably lower. Friday, instead of the talked of co operation depressing the Omaha cash wheat market, it acted directly oppo site, sending prices up fully 3 cents. There was a rush to buy and the sales were made at $2.92 to $2.95 a bushel. ' Corn was weak and was Vi cent off, selling at $1.51 to $1.52, with oats down a cent to a cent and one fourth, selling at 69 to 694 cents a bushel. , DUN'S KEVTEW OF TRADE.
